Strumming
Tuning: E A D G B E
First off, it took a while to figure out exactly what instruments and tuning they used
to play the main strumming in this song - turns out it is a Mandolin tuned to B-E-G#-C#.
Not exactly a common tuning as far as I know (it's the same notes the top 4 strings of a
capo 9 guitar), but it does sound cool here.
The best way that I found to mimic the mando's chord voicing on a guitar was to play it
an octave lower than the mando;
Capo 2.
Then alternating between
( D ) ( G )
e|------x-------x-----|
B|------3-------3-----|
G|------2-------o-----|
D|------o-------o-----|
A|------o-------2-----|
E|------x-------x-----|
And even better, since it's in the key of E, if you capo all the strings EXCEPT the high E,
you can play that one open throughout it all.
HOWEVER, all that is flavor really. Play it however you like. Below are the chords;
WITHOUT ANY CAPO-ING
